Chapter 33, The Secret of the Gobi Thanks to Nan Wu Robe, Science Buddha, and the Great God for rewarding the jade pendant
The Gobi is a very broad concept, bounded by Altai Mountains and Hangai Mountains in the north, the western edge of the Daxing'an Mountains in the east, the Altun Mountains, the Beishan Mountains and the Yin Mountains in the south, and the East Tianshan Mountains in the south. According to incomplete estimates. There should be 1.3 million square kilometers, in such a vast and inaccessible place, with a unique culture and a unique national character, and of course, there are also some special things that have not been verified.
Xu Buddha is going to the Gobi, naturally I don't know what his plans are, we went around for a few days. In the end, he finally entered Jiayuguan City.
In the 90s, Jiayuguan City was not so developed, surrounded by barren mountains and ancient city walls, but as an important human gathering place in the central part of the Hexi Corridor, Jiayuguan City was naturally lively.
The weather in Gansu is very dry, especially after approaching the edge of the Gobi, the air seems to be filled with sand, I originally thought that this time I would follow Xu Buddha to live in a small hotel, but I didn't expect that we would be greeted immediately after we entered Jiayuguan City, it was a few men in blue overalls, and the leader wore gold-rimmed eyes. Dark-skinned, tall but thin, wearing a pair of dusty leather shoes on his feet.
"Hello, Mr. Xu. Thank you so much for coming. ā
He greeted Xu Fo very warmly, and his expression was very similar to that of Li Jiawang he met when he was in Jilin. It's all that kind of expression full of expectation and hope that Xu Buddha can solve the problem.
Xu Fu nodded to him slightly, and a few people from behind hurriedly came over to help us carry our luggage, and very enthusiastically took us to a parked Santana.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am the deputy director of the Gansu Provincial Institute of Folk Geology, my name is Wu Bing, and these are my colleagues and assistants. We invited you here this time because I know a friend who works in the fifth group of the national brand, and he has made a bridge with it, and told me that you are well-informed and may be able to help us. ā
I didn't understand what he said, but I firmly remembered a few names in the words, especially the fifth group of national brands, which gave me a very special feeling.
"Well, this is my friend's disciple, and now follow me on the rivers and lakes. The situation was written in the letter you sent me before, so do you have any research breakthroughs now? ā
Xu Fo didn't say exactly what was going on, which aroused my deeper curiosity.
"I'll tell you the truth, this time we have made a big discovery, but it's inconvenient to talk about it in the car now, I'll show you when we get to the research institute."
Wu Bing seemed to be very cautious, and his expression gradually became stricter.
In Jiayuguan City, what can be studied on the edge of the Gobi? Sand? Stone? Antiquities? I guessed all the way, but I never expected that this time I came to Jiayuguan City, which was a big eye-opener.
The car stopped in front of a five-story white building, and a white sign hung at the door, which read: Gansu Provincial Institute of Folk Geology No. 10.
The building is still very clean, I can see a few people in white coats walking back and forth, after we got out of the car, Wu Bing beckoned someone to help us carry our luggage, and said: "I will send your luggage to the guest house at the back, if Mr. Xu is hungry, he will eat first." ā
Xu Fo waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look at what you find first, let's go." ā
Wu Bing nodded, beckoned, and several people in white coats immediately walked over, followed Wu Bing and a few of us, and entered the white building, but I found that this white building actually has a basement, and there are stairs leading to the bottom.
"Are you all ready?"
Wu Bing turned around and asked, and someone immediately replied: "It's all ready, it's on the third floor underground." ā
I can't help but guess that there must be some secrets in the basement established by the private organization, and most of the secrets are so mysterious and secretive, while walking down I nervously looked around, the basement floor can see a lot of dark small rooms, not big, one next to the other, there is no light in it, but I can clearly see some shadows shaking inside, I don't know what these shadows are.
On the second basement floor, the lights were a little brighter, but from time to time I could hear some shouts from various rooms, although they were far away from me, but I could tell that these cries were made by humans, and there was some pain and sorrow in the sound.
Then there was the third basement floor, which was our destination, and to my surprise, the third basement floor was very empty, but also very bright, and there were a lot of people gathered, and we walked into a real yĆ n room under the leadership of Wu Bing, which was full of people wearing white coats with different signs on their chests.
"Did he say it?"
Wu Bing opened his mouth to ask, everyone stopped moving, looked over, and a flat-headed dwarf squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of Wu Bing, still shook his head and said, "I didn't say it, it's still a god's chatter." ā
Wu Bing frowned slightly, and then said, "Take us over first." ā
Following the flat-headed dwarf all the way forward, the crowd around seemed to see Wu Bing very nervous, and walked to the center of the third basement floor, directly in front of which was a white house, and some scattered voices could be heard from the house.
"It's coming, it's coming......" "Why is there no light, why is it so dark?" "Rich, rich, haha!" There are forks.
It was a hoarse man's voice, and it was indeed a divine chatter, because I didn't understand a word of what he said, and his voice was strange, as if he were talking to himself, but I couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Before I go in, I'll give you a brief remark."
Wu Bing gave the flat-headed dwarf a look as he spoke, and the latter immediately dispersed the crowd around him, and only then did Wu Bing say: "Our ten institutes are considered a non-governmental organization, and they basically rely on the funding of some wealthy people or public welfare groups to carry out research and development work. Gansu is a large province with a particularly long history, and it is true that we have found a lot of valuable information here, but this time what we encountered was the largest and most mysterious event in the history of our ten institutes. About three years ago, we organized an expedition to the Gobi to find some ancient tombs or ruins hidden in the Gobi. But unexpectedly, on the first night of entering, there was a sandstorm, which was something we didn't expect, because according to our observations before departure, it should have been sunny weather. The sandstorm came very quickly, and our team was scattered, and when we gathered again five days later, we realized that there was one person missing, and that person was me. ā
Speaking of this, Wu Bing paused, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it and said: "At that time, the electronic equipment on my body was destroyed, and even the map was left in the wind and sand, but fortunately, after the sandstorm, my location was near an oasis, and the Gobi is not as good as other large deserts, although the desertification is strict, but after all, the Gobi was a good place with green grass and abundant grass thousands of years ago, and it is not uncommon to leave an oasis." I stayed in the oasis, waiting for the search and rescue team to arrive, only to make a very unexpected discovery. I found some weird skins in that oasis. ā
At this point, his words seem to really get to the point.
"Skins?"
I was fascinated by what I listened to, and I couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, some of the skins, like old skins of snakes or insects, but there are so many of them, and they are so tough that even if I cut them with a knife, I could only tear a small one. And, to be honest, I've never seen these skins before, they're very large, stretching for at least ten meters, and I was thinking what animals in the Gobi can grow to more than ten meters. In a place like the Gobi, the smaller it is, the longer it lives, and even a snake can't grow to more than ten meters. ā
When Wu Bing said this, Xu Fo suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "This is not good, some things cannot be regarded as beasts." Isn't there a monster in the Gobi that has been rumored for a long time? ā
As soon as these words came out, I didn't react, but the flat-headed short man next to me suddenly blurted out in surprise: "Death worm!" ā
